About This Worksheet
Without dots, your child has to look at the model, plan the stroke and draw it on their own. This is the last stroke-practice week before the series moves on to writing numbers, starting with 1 and 7 in Week 4.
Page 1 practises standing lines, page 2 sleeping lines, pages 3 and 4 slanting lines in each direction, and page 5 curves. Each row starts with a printed model, and the maths block grid helps your child keep strokes straight and evenly sized.
Skills Your Child Practises
- Copying a stroke from a model
- Drawing lines and curves independently
- Keeping size and spacing consistent
- Confidence writing without guides
How to Use This Worksheet
- Point to the model stroke before each row.
- Let your child draw freely without correcting mid-stroke.
- After each row, compare their strokes with the model together.
- Do one or two pages per sitting.
- Move to Week 4 when strokes look steady without dots.
What’s Next?
Move on to Week 4 – Numbers 1 and 7, where your child uses these strokes to write their first numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my child's lines are still shaky without dots?
That is normal. Repeat the page over a few days, or go back to Week 2 for a short time.
How do I know my child is ready for Week 3?
If they can draw each stroke neatly from a single dot in Week 2, they are ready to try without dots.
Should every stroke be the same size?
Aim for strokes that stay inside the grid boxes. Exact sizes are not important at this age.
What comes after Week 3?
Week 4 starts writing numbers, beginning with 1 and 7, which use the standing and slanting lines practised here.
